Introduction to Wind Power Generation System – IJERT
Practically, wind turbines are able to convert only a fraction of available wind power into useful power. As the free wind stream passes through the rotor, it transfers some of its energy to the

Small wind turbines, also known as micro wind turbines or urban wind turbines, are wind turbines that generate electricity for small-scale use. These turbines are typically smaller than those found in wind farms. Small wind turbines often have passive yaw systems as opposed to active ones. They use a direct drive generator and use a tail fin to point into the wind, whereas larger turbines have geared powertrains that are active
This introductory contribution is intended to provide an overview of small wind turbine classification options and an insight into the current market situation of available small wind systems.
The goal of the Small Wind Turbine project is to help U.S. industry develop cost-efective, high reliability small wind turbine systems for both the domestic and international wind energy markets.
